Thor

My story

Don’t let the name fool you, this Thor is more of a gentle giant than a thunder god. With his soft eyes, slow tail wags, and mellow energy, Thor is a sweet and easygoing. Thor is great on leash and he’s very polite. He waits patiently to be leashed and steps out of his kennel for staff and volunteers calmly. In the yard, he's loose, wiggly, and affectionate, happily sitting by your side and hopping up on the bench just to be close. He takes treats gently, enjoys being pet, and while he showed curiosity about toys, he was much more interested in quality time than play. This calm, cuddly guy would love a low-key home where he can relax, feel safe, and be someone’s loyal shadow. Thor is ready to trade the kennel for a couch, maybe yours? Come meet him at ACCT Philly any day between 10 am & 6 pm VIDEOS: Thor likes pets: https://youtube.com/shorts/bmLiWMMrElU?si=3Yw7N_x3WZpe325r Thor knows sit: https://youtube.com/shorts/ecbJX7VXG-c?si=pmA3Up0_UUoHZq0L Playgroup 6/6: Cocoa, Brock, Thor [muzzled]: https://youtu.be/3R0fu2xR2X4 BEHAVIOR: Per volunteer 6/4: Thor is so cute. He is really good on leash, easy to handle, and just wants to love on his human. He is goofy too! Kept hopping up on the bench to be close to me and chased the reflection from my phone on the ground. An absolutely lovely dog. 06/04/202 staff notes, playgroup: Semi steerable, push pull, pushy, obnoxious at times, playful, over corrected and had to be separated from another dog, responded well to correction from handlers 06/03/2025 volunteer notes: Kennel presentation: as I approach the kennel, he was sitting at the front of it with a neutral body language and low tail wags I offered him a treat through his kennel which he took, and then I showed him my leash. I began to open the kennel door, and he’s patiently sat and waited for me to leash him after I leash him, he jumped out of his kennel with a low wagging tail. Leash: minimal pulling Handling: outside door was very loose and wiggly. I took him in the yard where he solicited pets for me and would jump up on the bench and sit next to me. He took treats nicely from my hand. He was interested in toys as he totaled his head when I squeaked them and when I threw the toy, he ran over to it, but did not pick it up. He was very low energy and just wanted to be by your side. He sat to be pet and never once jumped up on me. Towards the end, he did do a little bit of exit searching. Going back into kennels we walked by a dog in one of the yards, he sniffed the dog he was a bit tense at first with a high wagging tail but he didn’t react and after sniffing the dog (female) for a couple seconds he walked away. In the kennels once we made it to his kennel he kept turning away from his kennel. I tried to lure him with treats to hop in but it didn’t work. I ended up stepping one foot in and he hopped in. Toys: interested but did not take possession Play: no interest 06/02/2025 staff notes, intake: dog was very friendly, came right up to me in alleyway, allowed leashing, pulls moderately.
